HSI's European Policy Office is working to save more than 12 million animals from suffering and death in laboratories across the EU.

Our experts are working in Brussels to replace animal tests with advanced, non-animal techniques and achieve better protection for animals in laboratories. We've been instrumental in securing the largest-ever reduction in animal test requirements through revising EU biocide and pesticide regulations, and were at the forefront of the campaign to transform Europe's animal experiments directive.

Today, we aim to shape the EU's Horizon 2020 research funding programme to prioritise human-relevant, non-animal approaches to advance biomedicine and promote innovation. We're also lobbying to revise testing requirements under the EU chemicals regulation, REACH, to achieve maximum use of available alternative methods.

Take action through our issues below and help HSI end animal testing in the EU.
